Game Thread 11/27: Pacers vs Magic

Jstock12 · Post #1 » by **Jstock12** » Mon Nov 27, 2017 3:28 pm

Indiana Pacers

ORTG: 8th
DRTG: 19th
SRS: 11th

Orlando Magic

ORTG: 16th
DRTG: 24th
SRS: 22nd

--------------

This one is a very winnable game to get us back on the winning track

Although, the Magic are on an 8 game losing streak, so they might be give us a heck of a fight... Nobody wants to experience a double-digit losing streak.

Dipo appears to be a game time decision tonight.

Hard to beat a team twice. Magic due to win. Pacers due for a letdown. Spread is only 4 and all the $$$ is on Indiana. Trap game. I'm staying far away from this game. You might think I'm crazy but tonight would be an impressive ass win. Especially if come out and blow them out...I will be shocked. Don't be surprised to see a loss here. A win is needed since our next 2 games are @ HOU @ TOR so hopefully they understand that. After TOR our schedule softens up, many home games, and we should be able to start pulling away from these teams in the standings. Oladipo should be a go tonight.

Orlando isn't a bad team. They're pretty good when they're at their best, but I think we match up pretty well with them.

If it makes you feel any better, I guaranteed a win vs ORL last week in ORL. Called the Raptors win, Celtics loss, Heat win....pretty much been nailing all these Pacers wins and losses all season. Just ask my bookie lol. Lean: Magic +4.5

Go Pacers

Very well said and I agree completely.

Would be an impressive win tonight, but I won't be shocked if we end up with a loss.

Either way, I'll be here, I'll be watching, and I'll be rooting hard.

I agree. These are just the type of games we've always struggled with. Going to be a very tough game. The Magic have kinda fallen back to normal from the early season play, but they are due for a win.

As far as us struggling with these types of games, we've actually fared pretty well in those games so far this season, hope to continue the trend tonight.

Vogel should just shave his head.

What a sloppy start.

Vogel looks like his puppy just ran away every time I see him now.

Good to see Victor back!!

I have the game on mute and saw Turner got hit in the head and was then subbed out.

Does he have another concussion?

Oladipo/Sabonis PnR is a hell of a weapon.

I still think the Pacers should have brought him back.

Vucevic hit him on the left cheek bone area with an elbow, let's hope he's ok.

I don't at all.

He is a horrible ingame coach and never held players accountable.

I like Frank a lot as a person and he does a lot of things as a coach very well, but egg-timer rotations and just letting players do whatever they want was horrible. What makes it worse, is he never showed the ability to learn from his mistakes.

Vic came out with about 30 sec in 1st and was talking to the trainer, but then he sat down on the bench. Let's hope that knew is not swelling.
